Six Thoroughbreds to Epsom Downs; Nonsuch shorter ride 20 June

 

Report from Karen

 

A fair turnout at Nonsuch Park before the onset of tropical conditions.  Most opted for Steve's ride to Walton, leaving six of us to tackle the short but occasionally hilly ride to Epsom Downs.

Karen led the field for most of the way but Colin L was chomping at the bit when we reached the bottom of Chalk Lane and barged through as front-runner.  The going was good but the other riders struggled to keep pace. Alas, on the home straight, Colin deviated from the track and was disqualified.  So it was a photo finish between Roland and Karen - Roland winning by a nose.

Colin's spirits were revived with cake and coffee at Alexandra Park, where we lingered for some time - seemingly no-one in a rush to be anywhere else.
